Some doubt that is was literally created with a "single stroke", but that a single line comprised of multiple strokes is more likely. One reason for the doubts is that "The ball point wasn’t patented until 1889..." Another reference reads "In the 1870s, L.E. Waterman developed his famous three-channel feed, which provided smooth, controlled flow of ink during writing, and made the portable pen a practical reality."

In any case, it's an incredible work of art!

Jonas - Apr 20, 2013 01:56:36  "...all gifts are from God." No doubt. Looking at something like Michelangelo's "David", how can one argue with that. There are so many incredibly talented artists that go unnoticed. Thanks for sharing, Ernest Zenone, Sr.
